spring – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

A Pause In The Mist

a pause in the mist 
roses revealing their names 
petals on the wind

near the trees rose
from underneath the past rain
a new day is born

through spring rains 
flowers forced to wait 
for summer's delight

gentle rainfall
windchimes' song 
evening calmness

blue sky memories 
blossoms caressed by sunlight 
your voice in my dreams

gentle spots of white 
upon the yellow petals
moving in the breeze

sun upon petals
once the gentle rains have stopped
the joys of this life

moments of sunlight 
bees spreading their joyful wings 
spring's life renewing

sitting with my tea 
where I am quite dry and warm 
amidst the rainfall

the morning rains fade 
clouds dancing upon the breeze
and, slowly, sunlight
